SIMPLY INTAXICATING

Sold to Gold (Episode 2)

In this episode TIOL TUBE continues with the same panel with one exception of distinguished guests delving deeper into various aspects of gold imports and other aspects of the gold trade. What dominates the discussions in this episode is the anti-smuggling aspect of gold which is smuggled into India through various routes - land, air and sea. How exactly Dubai-based smuggling syndicates work and what motivates them to carry on with such a risky business even after the Indian Customs seems to be making seizures almost every four hours? Is the sea route still popular among smugglers? How exactly Customs comes to know about such consignment? Are the Airlines staffers also involved in such a trade? Answers to all such questions can be found in this episode.
